*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Wood Mackenzie has revised its global economic outlook downward due to trade tensions. Our forecast for global gross domestic product growth is 2.4% for 2025 and 2.5% for 2026. Temporary pauses on the US reciprocal tariffs and US levies on Chinese imports have averted the worst-case economic impacts, for now. Given the tariff uncertainty, this update includes two scenarios: trade truce and trade war.
